You never mention how long you left them in. I've seen other videos or instructions about using acetone that say you must rinse them afterwards with distilled water, is that not necessary?
@@ryushogun9890 acetone is basically a rinse itself does NOT rinsed off with distilled water (although it won’t hurt it) However if you Dip a coin in jewelry luster or coin dip like E-Z-EST then yes you’ll have follow up with distilled water rinse … I prefer to dip only coins that truly need a Dipping in E-Z-EST I only dip my coins for 10 seconds!!!

@@justinling6207 I've seen people online say it's great with all metals (specifically including copper), so I wouldn't worry, but Google has loads of great information.
Just want to mention that if i were going to sell coin for its numismatic "value", i would never clean it.. if i were going to sell a coin for its silver content then i would no doubt follow your suggestion.
I've cleaned coins in that way and sent them in the PCGS and they were graded they didn't come back saying they were clean. It's the only way that I know that preserves the coin.
@Marty: Old post -- but if you're still around... This is not "Cleaning" as in improper cleaning... this is conserving. This is one of the accepted methods. However, I would add that coins need to be completely rinsed with distilled water.
@@martin.B777 Hi Martin. It had been a while so I rewatched the video to see what was going on. The video didn't show any kind of rinse and that is important as the initial acetone is contaminated. When the acetone dries it will leave behind traces of gunk. I have always used a 3 bowl setup... initial soak, rinse, and rinse again, as the second batch will still get dirty. They always recommend running water for that purpose, but I don't have running distilled water. Some prefer to use acetone, some prefer distilled water for the rinses. Cheers!
@@decoman100 possibly some Ezest. You would have to special order it. Amazon I believe you can buy some. It doesn't damage the coin. Follow the instructions.
It would’ve been nice if you would’ve show us the coins before and after

24 hours!
And like you said do you have to rinse it and distilled water? So I soak my Coins for 24 hours correct?
@@johnmartin9920 so, do you have to put distilled water?
@@ryushogun9890 I would.

You didn’t show a “before” picture or say how long to let them soak
Do you have any insight on cleaning nickels from the ground? They are purple and you can’t read anything although they do have details.
Valve Grinding Compound from the auto parts store might be a consideration. I use it in all my videos. Just did a Nickel yesterday.
Does it damage zinc coins? I'm trying to get rid of some mold that got into it, does it take care of mold?
Did it work on the last coin?
Why airtight container?
How long Do you soak the coins?
72 days on average,
Like my friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Does it work with copper coins also?
Does anyone know?
@@justinling6207 copper is super weak metal so i try dont do anything to it
@@lukeItsAmeMArio Thanks man :)

Very nice
Hey man I was wondering if $18 for a piece dollar random year was good. I saw it on apmex and I thought it was a bit high but not sure
Not a good deal.
Car1Sagan thanks. I can get them for $15 from a private seller. Thanks
@@Car1Sagan You are correct, not a good deal. It would have been a Great Deal, if you are still holding it today.
Why did not acetone dissolve plastic lid ? Ok glass container but plastic lid. Does Acetone dissolve all kinds of plastic ?
Because the acetone was not in direct contact with the lid.

Good to know that. Thanks Don. (distilled water rinse.)
@@don951 Why does a coin need to be rinsed with distilled water after the acetone treatment?

Can you use a plastic container, like Tupperware?
No
And is the acetone reusable?
no
I guess I'm okay with this. Just don't do it to Copper.
I guess copper doesn't get along well with acetone or why
can asetone remove green off silver coins …???????????
No oxidation. Its cleans adhesive and PVC
@@numismaticstacker ok thank you very much ...
@@numismaticstacker what would work to remove the green on the coins ????.....thanks

FYI-You clean your coins you destroy their value. Don't believe me, research any reputable coin grading company and enter coin cleaning devaluation.

Turned it off with the intro.

@@Kenlydford Turned ot off at the intro...would suggest that I did not watch it.
@@almyers8074 oh that’s what you said, ok… gotcha
I’m just trying to clean some loose change I found at the junkyard so the bank teller can read them, idc how pristine they are lol
What wrong with your hair
On silver use toothpaste and toothbrush to get dirt off
Yeah, no. Not on coins.
If the coins are not numismatics or minted, go ahead.
